A professional runner from Kenya who was out training on a nature trail in the woods near his home in Maine says he encountered two charging black bears but was able to outrun them during a frantic sprint to a nearby vacant house for cover.

Police arrested a Lyman man Thursday night after they said his two young children were found wandering outside in their neighborhood.
Christopher Peare, 35, had no idea his 2- and 3-year-old daughters had been missing for 90 minutes.
